Unreferenced date December 2006 orphan date November 2009 In computer science , a simulator is a software program to model a real life situation on a computer so that it can be studied to see how the system behaves. By changing variables, performance prediction s may be made about the behaviour of the system. A computersimulator can be either an Instruction Set Simulator or a full system simulation full system simulatorComputer simulation has become a useful part of model abstract modeling many natural systems in physics , chemistry and biology , and human systems in economics and social science the computational sociology as well as in engineering to gain insight into the operation of those systems. A good example of the usefulness of using computers to simulate can be found in the field of network traffic simulation . In such simulations the model abstract model behaviour will change each simulation according to the set of initial parameters assumed for the environment. Computer simulations are often considered to be human out of the loop simulations. Traditionally, the formal modeling of systems has been via a mathematical model , which attempts to find analytical solutions to problems which enables the prediction of the behaviour of the system from a set of parameters and initial conditions.

Primary sources date September 2010 The Super Harvard Architecture Single Chip Computer SHARC is a high performance floating point and Fixed point arithmetic fixed point digital signal processor DSP from Analog Devices , not to be confused with Hitachi, Ltd. Hitachi s SuperH SH microprocessor. SHARC is used in a variety of signal processing applications ranging from single CPU guided artillery shells to 1000 CPU over the horizon radar processing computers. The original design dates to about January 1994. SHARC processors are or were used because they have offered good floating point performance per watt . SHARC processors are typically intended to have a good number of serial links to other SHARC processors nearby, to be used as a low cost alternative to Symmetric multiprocessing SMP . Architecture The SHARC is a Harvard architecture Word addressing word addressed VLIW processor it knows nothing of 8 bit or 16 bit values since each address is used to point to a whole 32 bit word, not just a byte. It is thus neither little endian nor big endian, though a compiler may use either convention if it implements 64 bit data and or some way to pack multiple 8 bit or 16 bit values into a single 32 bit word. Analog Devices chose to avoid the issue by using a 32 bit char in their C compiler. The word size is 48 bit for instructions, 32 bit for integers and normal floating point, and 40 bit for extended floating point. Code and data are normally fetched from on chip memory, which the user must split into regions of different word sizes as desired. Small data types may be stored in wider memory, simply wasting the extra space. A system that does not use 40 bit extended floating point might divide the on chip memory into two sections, a 48 bit one for code and a 32 bit one for everything else. Most memory related CPU instructions can not access all the bits of 48 bit memory, but a special ... Computer Systems sold a SHARC based product that used byte addressing.

History Until recently, constructing simulator rides was an expensive, high tech business. The first simulators were built to train military aircraft pilot pilots . Long before the days of virtual reality, the view through the cockpit came from remote video camera s which moved on gantries above physical model physical model landscape s. These model landscapes were huge, often the size of aircraft hangar s. By the mid nineties , computer virtual reality graphics replaced most physical models in simulators. Today s Flight simulator flight training simulators , like NASA s, have virtual landscapes projected on multiple screens giving a 180 degree view. Much simpler simulators, running fixed video synchronised to the movement of the cabin aircraft cabin , were introduced in carnival funfairs in the same period.

Orphan date February 2009 No footnotes date April 2009 MIMIC Simulator is a product suite from Gambit Communications consisting of simulation software in the network management network and systems management space. MIMIC SNMP simulator solves a classical simulation problem Network Management Application network management software typically manages large networks. Traditionally, in order to set up such networks for the purposes of software development , software testing or training , physical equipment had to be separately purchased and assembled in laboratories . To reduce the expense, most of the network can be simulated. The principle behind Simple Network Management Protocol SNMP simulation is that the SNMP protocol is an interface that can be simulated. SNMP requests carry data values for Management information base MIB objects, which can be shaped at will by the simulator, thus representing any device which has an SNMP interface. In contrast to network simulation , where the entire network is modelled within a computer, this type of empirical simulation is visible on the network, and one can communicate with the simulator over the network. The concept can be extended to other Protocol computing protocols such as for cable modems , command line interface CLI such as Cisco IOS or TL1 , or IPMI .
